seem to remember off the top of my head, you do need any kind of sd card just to install the app, you'd be surprised in how many thingso they're in now.

Think you might be able to push it through adb if your not too worried about typing some stuff in your computer, and downloading the adb files and moto-fastboot files which you'll have to do anyway to progress further, as well as latest moto drivers.

[Atrix 4G General] kartik50:
I think I understand - the apps needs to be installed on the SD card as Gingerbreak wipes /data on your phone, and the app shouldn't delete itself. Btw why would I need ADB? I'm in the UJ so sideloading is intrinsically enabled. Can anyone confirm if my theory is infact correct?

i just installed ginger blur 4.5 but it is taking a very long to start up again is this normal????

the motorola start up screen flashes again n again the notification lite also flashes red n green is this normal
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
how did you get to that position?

More that likely if you unlocked, you need to flash, the right international kernel for your phone

[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Use adb to push the app to your phone instead of the sd card. Not sure if it's possible. But sd cards are soo cheap.

Is it still sitting there? Or have you battery pulled, and tried rebooting? not that that's always a good thing, could brick)

Swyped from "Mount" Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] @home:
Yes it just sits there. I haven't taken the battery out & rebooted, it doesn't say anything in the instructions about doing that.

I can try it later, how long does it take to root before it reboots, mine sat there an hour & did nothing.
[Atrix 4G General] @home:
Just bumping this back up as my question hasn't been answered.

So how long do I sit there waiting before I pull out the battery & reboot the phone.

Cannot understand how this has become so difficult when i have followed the instructions.

I have SIM Free UK Atrix. is that making any difference?
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Sorry dude, have to work, and look after family.

Can't open web page that you got information from on rooting.

Should take seconds.

Pulling the battery should do it, but don't want you to brick your phone and that could happen, but at this point don't think you got much choice.

Can you enter any command prompts on your computer, our is that locked up too?

Edit: did you reboot your computer after installing drivers? And use same usb port?

Swyped from "Mount" Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] @home:
Yes I did reboot. Don't want to brick phone, so not taking any chances with instructions or removing battery.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Well you could soft brick, which isn't a problem. But at the moment you're got a phone that is a brick, so your going to have to make a decision.

Can you enter anything on your computer. Can you do adb devices ?

Swyped from "Mount" Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Hi guys.

You need SD card if you want to use this guide. ICS ? I wouldn't go that far. Anyway I can't tell you if the OTA will pop out on a custom ROM. If you do nandroid backupo before you install any custom rom then you will be able to restore to factory. The only thing that will stay is "unlocked" on the top left corner.

It should not take longer than one minute. What Windows version you running at ? You sure you have got "unknown sources" Enabled ? Also "USB Debugging" Enabled and when you connect to your pc you selected USB charge mode ?

Try to connect to pc and then use adb command in cmd

adb devices

If you can see you device in cmd then your drivers are correct and we will try to sort this out.

Why on earth you choose ginger blur 4.5 ?? This is P-ROM and also quite old. I never tested this as it says

DO NOT INSTALL ON BELL ATRIX FOR THE TIME BEING. INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE.

Bell atrix is the same as UK (International) Install any other recent ROM like Alien, Aura, CM7 Beta2.

Remember guys that this guide was posted 2 weeks ago and there already might be some new better and easier ways to root and unlock BL.

P.S

I have been informed that some links are dead - All of them works fine for me!
[Atrix 4G General] @home:
I am running windows 7, All have enabled, I connect as 'none' when inserting usb cable.

I am not very good with command prompt so I have no clue on that score.

Thanks for the help though.

Still not rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Ok you can try this software http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

I've tested on mine sometime ago with success. It does say atrix 4g is supported anyway.

Again if it takes more than few minutes to finish then take the battery out. You won't hard brick your mobile if you only rooting.
[Atrix 4G General] @home:
Thanks, I had tried this method previously but the program just hangs saying 'waiting for device'.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
You gotta use adb.

And use command "adb devices"

That really checks that your phone is connected properly.

Same with fastboot. "Moto-Fastboot devices"

[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Well it must be the drivers then. Connect your mobile to PC and go to control panel and check device manager. Do me a screenshot of your device tree.

Little Genius Help?

So i'm a bit screwed. Can ANY of the geniuses here help me? I CANNOT, repeat cannot afford to have a bricked phone. :(

Ok, so before I flashed a new rom, I installed Clockworkmod to make a backup so that I wouldn't lose everything. I made my backup, and immediately tried to restore it, just to triple check that everything would work if I did somehow mess up. Well, it didn't. I restored once, and got an error (error formatting /system), so I tried to restore again, thinking that this might be a one off, and I got a different error (error restoring boot image). I said, oh well, maybe I did something wrong, and pressed reboot. Well, phone won't boot up. Stuck on the motorola logo with unlocked written in the top left corner. I'm on Orange UK, bootloader unlocked using the bell.ihop from International House of Pudding, and Clockworkmod installed permanently (fastboot flash recovery (cwm).) . Anyway, I cant afford to lose this phone, does anyone know a fix?
[Atrix 4G General] kartik50:
Tried some more stuff now . tried to flash 2.3.4 ORange France using both CWM and Romracers CWM. Just says installation aborted right after starting. No error code. Am I well and truly s.c.r.e.w.ed?
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Was that pudding, or the fastboot GB FR?

As long as you have access through, adb, and fastboot, you'll be fine.

Best to check the md5 of the romracer recovery you flashed to make sure it's not a corrupt file.

Did you check you proc international number, as in d00? Did you flash right file for your international number?

Hope you have a titanium backup, or backup pro backup too, otherwise more than likely you'll loose everything on the phone sorry to say.

(unless someone knows how to restore your nandroid)

Swyped from "Mount" Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
If you did nand backup using original cwm then you won't be able to restore it as I said in the original post it doeas have bugs and nandroid backup is one of them. Use romracers cwm and wipe your data and install aura rom which is fast and stable. Try to install all roms from your internal memory, maybe your sd card is corrupted. I had 16gb card that was working fine but anything I copied over was corrupted.

Hey, I say a youtube clip on how to do this aswell, and the guy had an canadian atrix and he talked about that you needed to have the latest version of the stock Froyo.

I recieved my "unlocked" atrix yesterday, I assume that it is a T-mobile that it was unlocked with a unlocking code (the box had a t-mobile recycling bag inside of it). The Motorola software updater said that there wasn't any updates available.

Now to my question, will I be able to run this without bricking my phone? I know, I cant blame anyone even if i fail, but can someone confirm that I haven't forgotten anything super important?

unlock bootloader + ROM replace = operator unlock

Guys please excuse my noob question, but reading so many threads got me confused.

It seems obvious that when you do all:

- root

- backup

- unlock bootloader

- replace ROM with custom like CM7, redpill, aura and others

in the end you get an Android that does not require from you an Orange sim.

In a this thread however http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080490&highlight=orange&page=3 there is a guy who first goes with subsidy unlock and then steps in these procedures.

Please help realize and rationalize things.

Advice BEFORE i unlock appreciated !

I followed this guide to root my T-Mobile Atrix http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

I then installed both TitaniumB & CWM to test it phone was rooted ok & all currently seems good..

I NOW want to follow this guide (((http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16211397&postcount=1))) with

the end goal being to install my custom roms (eg CM7)

As a NOOB i do have a couple of querys BEFORE I enter the path to enlightenment. I really appreciate some

advice..

1. Is there a guide (OR ADVICE FROM ANY PRO OUT THERE) that can tell me how to backup my current stock T-

Mobile installation ?

2. I am assuming I can jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" correct or not ?

3. If I CAN jump straight to "Unlock your Bootloader" should I miss anything out based on the fact I did not use Gingerbreak to root my atrix ?

4.Do I need to do a network unlock BEFORE starting any of the above ?

5.Why on step 10 does it say "10. Load up the SBF file – IHOP_Bell.sbf"

but the actual file inside the RAR is called "intl-fix-try1.sbf" ??? Worry or not ??

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO prior to following this guide ?

Thanks friends...........

Check the post for each rom. Darkside v2 includes faux’s kernel which is compatible with international devices. Therefore despite being an AT&T based rom will work on Uk atrix (or other international phones).

I've been using the non overclocked version of faux's kernel without any problems.

Go ahead and install Darkside and enjoy :)

has anyone tried this with a retail UK version of the atrix ? Does it make a difference? I ask as i bought mine unlocked online (from amazon)

Their are so many different posts that say so many different things but so far this is the clearest so ive decided im going to try follow this once i have an SD card sorted (my old one wont recognize but before i say its not working i havent even tested formatting it on my PC yet as i lack the correct adapter etc etc)

Also, how can i tell which driver version i have installed and if it needs to be updated? Can anyone post a checklist of what specs are best to have before performing the update? when i check in device manager it says 6.1.7600.16385...does that sound about right?

We can flash any ROM made for atrix and also we can flash any radio ( I have radio from att which I find the best for battery life.) So read the link I gave it and play.

1. Install Recovery

2. Download ROM (CM7, The dark side, Aura etc.)

3. Go to recovery, wipe you data (factory reset) and apply zip file

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy

Yes!!!

I just did it!

I was very scared because that version 45.31 and everywhere is written that 4.5.91 you need to pay attention because can hard brick!!! But forum member helped me a lot and confirmed my gues that this is mistake and the version is 4.5.31 so I went throu the guide.

Used PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.07 for root as I think is newest.

Also while using RDS Lite 5.3.1 my phone loaded and I didn't touch it and it locked waited until 100% on RSD and it said the phone must be manually turned off. I was scared again not to break something as I didn't know if my phone is running, but the phone was, as program said, running so I just unlock and turn it off loaded fastboot.rar and all the easy steps. I now looking for rom and so on.

I write this for you and every other member like me if he is frustrated like me for system version. May be will be nice these things to be added in noob guide or here like System Version=Firmware and 45.31 is mistake and = 4.5.31 because I searched two days before doing easy step unlock in minutes!!!

If anybody know how to unlock a carrier please, pm me!

I just tried out Synergy+Godmode thinking that it'd be as feature rich as MIUI but I just don't like HTC Sense. Sure it's fast, but it chewed through my battery. And the rom takes up nearly all the internal storage of your phone, 300mb compared with MIUI's 80mb. I can deal with no 4G, wimax sucks anyway and I never used it.

If you really want a MIUI-like rom with 4G, try running Salvage-mod (which has wimax) and use Go Launcher, Go SMS, and Go Weather. You'll have a MIUI-looking phone if you replace all the stock android stuff with stuff from the GO dev team (as it's very MIUI inspired), and you'll have your 4G. That's the best alternative, in my opinion. Salvage mod is great, stable, fast, small, and good with battery. (note- not savaged-zen rom, but salvage-mod rom)
